Each summer, “Madden” ratings become a big talking point. Player ratings are often unveiled before the game’s August release date, creating some buzz from fans, for better or worse. That’s exactly what happened ahead of this year’s edition of the ever-popular football game as many of the top-rated players in the league were leaked on Sunday. Of course, there’s a lot of time between now and August 10 when the game is released and these ratings are in no way final, so they’re definitely subject to change.

However, Rams fans will be pleased to know that Aaron Donald, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, is one of three players with a 99 overall rating. Aaron Rodgers and Antonio Brown are the others.

As you can see, Ndamukong Suh is also on the list with an overall rating of 92. He’s the only other Rams player on the top-35 list, though Todd Gurley was close (91 overall).

A bunch of other ratings for Rams players (and every other team) were also revealed this weekend and you can view all of Los Angeles’ highest-rated stars below.

So as of now, the Rams’ secondary will be as good in “Madden” as it has been advertised all offseason.

CB: Aqib Talib (89)

CB: Marcus Peters (86)

FS: Lamarcus Joyner (88)

SS: John Johnson (83)

The same can be said about the Rams’ defensive line, featuring Donald (99), Suh (92) and Michael Brockers (81). That’s a dominant group offensive lines in “Madden” will have trouble with, let alone in real life.

It’s worth noting that Gurley isn’t the top-rated running back at 91 overall and is actually third behind Le’Veon Bell (93) and David Johnson (92), while being tied with Ezekiel Elliott at 91 overall.

It seems the ratings gurus at EA Sports are being especially harsh on quarterbacks this year, too, with only Tom Brady and Rodgers ranking among the 35 highest-rated players. Heck, 2017 MVP candidate Carson Wentz is only 85 overall, so perhaps Jared Goff’s rating of 81 is reasonable.

Again, these ratings aren’t likely to be the ones you see when the game releases on August 10 and are certain to change, but it gives you a little bit of an idea of how Rams players will be rated.
